I'm looking for a simple checkbook program that can be used on a USB
drive (no-install, drive letter independant). Any ideas?

It just needs to track one checkbook, maybe basic reporting, and
ability to mark items as cleared.

Thanks.

Eric, I am not sure if it will work...you would have to try it, but
AceMoney is small and might possibly work. I like it for what we do.

It saves settings to the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MechCAD\AceMoney"
registry and it remembers the absolute path of the data file it last
used so I have to deal with that when it moves to a different drive
letter.

But... it does hide reconciled transactions and it doesn't freak-out
when the program finds itself on another drive letter. Better, but
still not quite portable.

The program is VERY limited. It's really not much better than a good
spreadsheet.

Oh well... Thanks for the mini-review. I was going to install it on my
parent's PC, but I'll probably leave it now, given what you've found.
